Description Lucas Rizoli 2005-05-22 01:01:26 UTC 
There should be an easy way to adjust the subtitle font and size through the
GUI. The only way I've found to do it is by editing the totem_config file (as
demonstrated at http://gnometux.blogspot.com/2005/02/subtitles-in-totem.html).

This is possible in the new "unstable" version of totem (1.1.1). However, what
would be nice is to have the font size calculated by the width of the movie.
Now, when I play a very small video (say 200 px width) the subtitles are way to
big and I have to decrease the size to be able to view the subtitles.
Comment 2 Ronald Bultje 2005-05-22 10:00:41 UTC 
Right, that would be nice to have. It would also be nice to have subtitles
blitted on the end-scaled frame and not on the yet-to-scale frame, since then
subtitles on small-fullscreen movies look a lot better.

But the basics are there, we'll slowly make things better.
Comment 3 Michaël Arnauts 2005-05-22 17:24:01 UTC 
Ronald, exactly, I was afraid to ask because i thought that would be impossible,
but if it is possible, that would be great!
Comment 4 Ronald Bultje 2005-05-22 17:34:22 UTC 
The GStreamer-backend has a has-video-size handler, so on that event, we can
just calculate the wanted subtitle size. Not hard, just needs some work...

Great!  I just wanted to add this as a bug.  Made a quick mockup for it:
http://student.vub.ac.be/~kmdemeye/totem-subprefs-mock.png but the font-chooser
should remain I think so it makes it the default size too if the option is not
choosen

Comment 9 Sven Arvidsson 2009-09-29 14:22:57 UTC 
Release 0.10.24 of the GStreamer base plug-ins seems to scale the subtitles depending on the size of the movie. Overall, subtitles seems to look a lot nicer now.
Comment 10 Bastien Nocera 2010-05-06 13:51:14 UTC 
The original bug was reported against the xine-lib backend, and Sven mentions that the problem is fixed. Please file a new bug if there's still a problem with the subtitle sizing.
